Ibn Battuta meets Rajas of Asia - Alpha

Description
Alpha version of Compatch for Rajas of Asia and Ibn Battuta's Legacy

This is meant to be the ultimate map mod for all who want to play outside Europe, although it does improve also the map of Europe itself.
It adds the entire Asia, as done by Rajas of Asia mod, and merges it with reworked and improved map of Africa, Middle East and parts of Europe as done by Ibn Battuta's Legacy .
This mod is also intended to bridge the main obstacle in joining Rajas of Asia with Community Mods for Historicity.

If you like this compatch or Ibn Battuta's Legacy mod and want to help with its improvement, you can join and help me at my Discord channel [discord.gg], or support me via [ko-fi.com]

Compatibility:
- It requires both Ibn Battuta's Legacy (load first) and Rajas of Asia (load before this compatch)
- this is intended to work with CMH list, but now only works with its source mods IBL and RoA


Please note that this is yet an alpha version, which still has some issues. I will try to tackle them one by one,
please don't hesitate to report them when you notice anything, either here in the comments section, or - ideally - on IBL Discord channel [discord.gg].

Since this is an alpha version, it is not recommended to use with other mods, as of yet not even with the original IBL used in CMH collection, which is set on different base map (vanilla projection, while this one uses Miller Cylindrical Projection) and uses different province IDs and everything.
This will be rectified in near future


CONTENT
Features added for original Ibn Battuta's Legacy:
- Better map projection
- Fully added Asia, as done by Rajas of Asia
- all the features of Rajas of Asia, like minority system etc.
- more detailed Hausaland, Kanem and Ghana

Features new to Rajas of Asia users:
- new terrains added by Ibn Battuta's Legacy - Dry Hills, Boreal Highlands and Savanna
- more detailed map of Africa
- improved parts of Europe (currently Iberia, Bohemia, Slovakia and northern Hungary)

Planned features
- adding the Swahili coast of East Africa
- Overhaul of Persia, Egypt and Nubia
- overhaul of more regions of Europe and Africa (Bavaria, Kaabu already in development)
- incorporate minority system also to some western parts of the map

Known Issues or things to be done for full version:
- add all the new IBL terrains to Asia
- some locators might be little out of place, please report if anything feels wrong
- the 936 bookmark needs to be adapted to the western parts of the map, especially Africa

Thanks and credits:
- special thanks to Nezaros and the Rajas of Asia team
- Deimos (for thumbnail pic)
- Kaepora Gaebora and TheNunnceler

@Tandominion both this and MB+ use the same base set of files, so if you run them both, you will basically have one of them completely overwrite the other - you will have one or the other map, and in some cases it may even not crash.
This should work especially if you load IBL+RoA before MB+, as the latter adds more stuff from dozens of other mods and has lot more files. In that case there's just no point in using this, because you won't see anything from this, so basically you are just running just MB+ with higher chance of having it run wrong.

@Tandominion Unfortunately, making a MB compatch would be too much. Already now, I'm barely able to run and update all the compatches, which are essential for my mod. Unles I lose my family and work, MB+ compatch is not gonna happen

@vinayasopa - yes, the update didn't change anything what would break this alpha version

Does this work with 1.12?

@aflyax - I'm sorry for your issues. Although this is still an alpha version and it might have some issues (as written in descritpion), countries should not be messed (except few cases in 936 start date).

Could you please provide some more info, so I could help you, or - if it's a problem in this mod - fix it?
Which start date you played? do you use it with any other mods? Do you have the 3 mods in the required order (IBL, then ROA, then compatch IBL+ROA)? Anything that could help me locate the problem?

Map is screwed up. Countries all over the place. Newest update.

I like the Oriental Empires Mod because it has historically accurate Chinese mechanics and awesome stuff like the Son of Heaven getting a historically accurate harem, just like in RL! I once conquered China and sired ONE HUNDRED GRANDCHILDREN.

@TurtleShroom - thanks for your suggestion. I'm in no position to judge which mod focusing on Asia has better map. I am working with the team which was most willing to cooperate and most desired by CMH members. That said, while I can't rule out further adaptations of IBL to Oriental Empires or other Miller Projection mods, I don't see it in near future.

@Electric Antartica - I am sorry to disappoint you, but MPE compatibility is ruled out. That mod is in completely different scale and off limits respected by IBL. Its goal may - in principle - be somewhat similar to IBL, but the path it takes is totally incompatible.

Wooooooh
The best map-improving mod and the best Asia mod come together :steamhappy:
Great work, Elvain!

I agree with Turtleshroom, but also MPE compatibility would be just the icing on the cake.
